Bible Question: Are all men born to go to Hell because they inherit the sin of Adam? |
Bible Answer: Hi cynzast, No, all men are not "born to go to Hell because they inherit the sin of Adam. Doc is right that the sin of Adam is imputed to each of us at conception. But this sin is not what condemns us to Hell. The sin of Adam resulted in the curse of the "first death" that is, the corruption of the physical body making men mortal. See Gen. 3:19. Now continue with Romans 5:12-14. Between Adam and Moses there was no law given, "yet death reigned". The "imputed sin" of Adam passes on to all men the mortality and corruption of the body resulting in our "sin nature". One's condemnation to Hell is a result of individual sin for which you and me are responsible and accountable. It is these personal sins that we are able to confess, repent, and receive forgiveness for. And by doing we are freed from the second death, that is, eternal separation for God. The curse of Adam's sin remains upon even the saved, that is, "it is appointed unto men once to die" Heb. 9:27. so, men are not born to go to Hell. Rather, men are born to have a relationship with God and every man is given the opportunity to have that relationship. Do you have it? Jeff |
